The Mehrangarh Fort is one of the largest forts in India, situated at an elevation of 440 feet from the city. The fort is enclosed by high and sturdy walls and encloses several palaces and temples within its complex. The Mehrangarh Fort is quite popular among tourists visiting Jodhpur and attracts tourists from all over the country and the world.
The walls of the fort still bear the imprints of cannon balls from attacks during the reign of the Rajput rulers. On the left of the fort, you can find a chattri dedicated to a soldier called Kirat Singh Soda who fell on the spot while defending the fort. Handprints can still be found on the walls and for this reason, the fort attracts a large number of tourists.
